Havent heard the ST-10S.

But I did just notice that they posted a graph:

So it might be more of a tuning problem rather than the vent system itself. That bass shelf is too big and too early. The dip at 1.5k and the bigger rise at around 2k is a problem as well....

Yup that's bad but still why $308,why so much increase in price.
Forget about cables. That's bad habit to add 2nd cable and add + $100

Smabat Super One review is up: https://www.head-fi.org/showcase/smabat-super-one.25226/reviews#review-26095

Rank: B+

yeah, its a big dissapointment....
The M2S Pro on the other hand will be a fun one to review.

Sigh. Looks like I will just get rw2000 for now

That's a shame, always excited for more buds with actual bass and detachable cables.

For now I am holding out for a bud that's comfortable/fits well but has sub-bass and forward female vocals, ideally also comes in 4.4mm balanced and lower impedance for DAP use. I feel like K's might have something since they use MX500 or smaller bell shapes but they're expensive and difficult to understand haha. The other one I'd look at is FiiO EM5 but those look pretty large

edit: in the meantime i got IKKO OH10 on sale and it has the tuning i like. sub bass, stage and forward upper mids niceeee

What tuning do you want? bass boosted (mid-bass) neutral? if yes, then the RW-2000 is indeed a very good choice.

Basically looking for an X6 upgrade. I held back rw2k purchase to see how you would rate k's earphones and super one. So far looks like rw2k is the way to go. Or maybe I should wait for the m2s review

This is how we can present mid-bass centric earbuds. Mids are the area in front of the wall

I think that K's earphone Onmyoji 2021 4.4mm is at the top of the earbuds that adapt your needs, "comfortable / fits well but has sub-bass and forward female vocals, ideally also comes in 4.4mm balanced and lower impedance".
Onmyoji 2021 is a bit expensive, but in the end I believe you will be very happy with it.

Edit: If the Onmyoji 2021 is too expensive for you, you can give up the 4.4mm plug, I recommend the LBBS which has 70% almost the same sound signature.

RW-2000 is not one of them lol, but that is generally the case with them...

Well, if you want an X6 as in a true upgrade with the same tuning but better quality. It doesnt exist.

But you should wait regardless though, since the sale starts on monday.

ST10s Gold is a steal at $80 compared to the Super One

Can anyone recommend a set of earbuds that are good for running?

Earbuds and running is an oxymoron because of the loose fit.

You could try silicon fins/hooks like those in the Venture Electronics Ex Pack.

I would recommend the White Bell from the ksearphone bell series with Double foam (Donut foam on Full foam) for your wife.
This shell is small enough to fit in the ear canal so that it will stay in her ear like an earplug.

Just curious, what is your "WOW" buds? The one that made you say, "d*mn, these sound awesome!"

Looking to purchase another one as my MS16 is dying on me (I think it can be fixed with a recable which I can do, but if that's the case, then I won't have a reason to purchase a new earbud )


Budget is sub-100 USD. Any sound signature will do.

Yincrow X6
NiceHCK MX500
NiceHCK ME80 (discontinued, get the Faaeal Iris CE transparent white version instead)

If anyone has an interest in the Ansata Pro, I found a Russian review.

https://www.ixbt.com/live/digs/obzor-dinamicheskih-naushnikov-vkladyshey-ourart-ansata-pro.html

The previous Ourart models 'ACG' and 'Ti7' have been praised for their excellent mids and the Ansata Pro is supposed to be an upgrade over those 2 which has piqued my interest, and the price makes it very tempting.

I'll do some more research over the weekend on other earbuds but I think I am almost set on getting the Yincrow RW-2000 this summer sale.

A "synonym" for running is moisture. How did you think a foam could help with that. Flat-head earbuds are not practical for sports activities, except for chess for example , due to poor fit and open shell construction on both sides of the driver. Silicone caps can improve fit and at the same time provide protection from moisture.
I tried silicon caps from Earphones Style 2+ with PK and MX500 shells, and it fits nicely.
